Background

About Ivan Sassi

I'm a senior IT professional with over 25 years of experience in system integration, infrastructure design, networking, cybersecurity, and linux environments. My career has spanned both deeply technical roles and leadership positions, guiding multidisciplinary teams and delivering complex, business-critical solutions. I specialize in designing robust and secure architectures, leading transformation projects, and bridging the gap between technical implementation and strategic vision. I’ve managed competence centers, contributed to the growth of new ventures, and taken part in shaping internal structures, processes, and teams. I thrive in roles where deep technical expertise, ownership, and long-term thinking are essential. I’m passionate about creating sustainable systems, enabling teams to grow, and ensuring that technology aligns with real business needs. Beyond work, I’ve always cultivated a strong interest in knowledge-sharing and community building — from running a pre-internet Fidonet BBS to founding and leading a cultural association dedicated to role-playing games and creative collaboration.
